SCS/1000/CTS Computer Controlled and Touch Screen 1000 l Semicontinuous Centrifugal Separator

The Computer Controlled and Touch Screen 1000 l Semicontinuous Centrifugal Separator, "SCS/1000/CTS", is able to show, for further research and study, the obtaining of lignin from lignocellulosic biomass.

The unit consists of a tubular centrifuge, a pump and a feed tank.

The mixture is fed into the feed tank and pumped into the tubular centrifuge via the feed pump. The mixture, when subjected to the rotation and centrifugal force of the cylinder, will tend to carry the heavier phase to the outside of the cylinder (to the walls).

The mixture without solids (lignin) is extracted through the upper part of the unit, by means of overflow.

This process is carried out at ambient conditions, because lignin at high temperatures behaves like a rubber and makes separation difficult.

This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
